2. Place the object between the outside jaws.
3. Gently close the jaws using the thumb roller until they make firm contact with the object. Avoid excessive force.
4. Read the measurement on the main scale and the dial indicator.
5. For consistent readings, you may use the locking screw to hold the measurement before removing the caliper from the object.

Mesura de dimensions interiors

1. Insert the inside jaws into the opening to be measured.
2. Open the jaws using the thumb roller until they make firm contact with the inner surfaces.
3. Read the measurement on the main scale and the dial indicator.

Profunditat de mesura

1. Place the end of the main beam across the top surface of the hole or step.
2. Extend the depth rod into the hole or down the step until it touches the bottom surface.
3. Read the measurement on the main scale and the dial indicator.

Measuring Step

1. Place the step measuring face of the fixed jaw on the higher surface.
2. Slide the moving jaw until its step measuring face rests on the lower surface.
3. Read the measurement on the main scale and the dial indicator.

Lectura de la mesura

The main scale provides the whole inch and tenth-of-an-inch readings. The dial indicator provides the hundredths and thousandths of an inch. For example, if the main scale reads 1.2 inches and the dial reads 50, the total measurement is 1.250 inches.

Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your dial caliper.

• Neteja: After each use, wipe the entire caliper with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Remove any oil, grease, or debris.

  • Verify that the locking screw is not overtightened, which can distort readings.
• Stiff or Rough Sliding Action:
  • Clean the beam and sliding surfaces thoroughly.
  • Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the sliding surfaces.
  • Check for any physical obstructions or damage to the beam or thumb roller.
• Taques d'òxid:
  • While made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances can cause minor surface rust. Clean immediately with a fine abrasive pad (e.g., Scotch-Brite) and apply a rust preventative oil.
